I thought Moe Tucker was deceased?

Anyway, I obtained Loaded a few weeks ago and I love the pop feel to it, it's a nice change.

I just stared at this for far too long.

not my fault.

Well, you're going to have to take the blame for something m'dear, and if it's not that picture then I'm afraid that it is entirely your fault that u2 exist. FACT.

fair enough, i suppose i've done enough damage around these parts that it's only logical for me to take the fall for that one.

I hope where you say 'parts' above refers to your lower-torso rather than this board.

in your sweet dreams.

Guys, uhh, how come record stores dont have a lot of VU stuff? I mean, here, theres nothing, in holland theres only the first one, i mean, wtf...

You don't want the 'first one'?

Are you seriously saying that in the whole of Holland they haven't got any VU records apart from the first one? It's really hard to believe, and in fact I don't.

well, sorry, that was a dumb thing to say, i meant local stores didnt have them, which is 2 stores and they've got loads of other forgoten records and stuff.

norma, i've got it, how could anyone not want it?

go to Concerto in amsterdam, its a fine fine record store...

i just listened to WLWH for the billionth time, brilliant!

Can you not ask the person behind the counter to order it for you?

Surely it's much easier to complain?

On that note, I had the chappy in the town my parents live who runs a really banal record store for locals order in the MIA album at, apparently, quite a degree of effort on his part. Being OOP he rang around a few friends' stores to see if anyone had any copies on their shelves. Good work, record store clerk.

yes, but it just confused me how none of the other cds were in the shops.

That's why I was asking.
It's a fantastic record.

MANUALI ROCK - VELVET UNDERGROUND

Arcana Editrice
Interwiew and excerpts from fanzines and magazines.





If you find it, this book has some of the weirdest early Velvet Underground interviews available to read. On one young Cale and Reed talk about how they got into selling their faces to some trashy magazines that would report about fake stories of murderers and rapists. Cale mentions that himself ended up having his photograph on a fake article about a crazy killer who would rape his victims in a stable in the middle of the night. Other interviews have Cale and Reed talking about making music using signals emanated by automatic doors etc. Good stuff.

There's scads of factory-sealed 180-gram and colored pressings of almost their whole catalog here at a place called Manifest. I've seen their stuff all over, actually, on CD and vinyl, new.

The Velvet Underground: Loaded

Hello Velvet Underground Collectors:


Here is a link to a Beverly Hills High School yearbook from 1969 I am selling which shows the Velvet Underground in their high school assemblies spread. The year they performed, the school also hosted Hakim Jamal (Malcolm X's cousin) and the writer James Baldwin. In the pics you can see the band sitting on folding chairs in the gym, waiting to perform. Very interesting piece of history.


Thanks,
LISA

This has just been sold in the US thought it might be of interest to all you die hard collectors..

A test pressing of the Velvet Underground's album "Loaded" from the personal collection of their late, great guitarist, Sterling Morrison. We obtained this directly from a member of Sterling's family, and it is about as unique a VU item as one could ever hope to find. In VG condition, the lip of this disc has a tiny warp from a fire at Sterling's in-law's house, where his collection was stored. It plays fine when tracking at 2 grams.
